Programme Introduction
About this programme
👩⚕️ Nursing Practice
✅ Bedside Skills
📋 Case-Based Learning
Long-term care facilities house residents living in close proximity for extended periods, creating conditions where infection can spread quickly if surveillance and outbreak control are not well organised.
Effective long-term care IPC depends on ongoing surveillance that catches infection trends early, structured outbreak control when clusters occur, and antimicrobial stewardship suited to a population with different needs than acute hospital care.
TerraLeap’s Long-Term Care IPC programme is designed for LTC nurses, facility managers, and IPC teams, covering surveillance, outbreak control, and stewardship.
The programme covers structured infection surveillance for long-term care settings, outbreak control procedures for communal living environments, and antimicrobial stewardship considerations specific to long-term care.
Bedside skill, clinical confidence — built for real nursing practice.
